Passport Help

[The Year Of The Fox]

Going away in october and im a bit unsure whether my passport is up to standard. At passport control at schipol a couple of years ago the bloke there scanned it twice and gave it a funny look.

Theres nothing wrong with it, just a bit creased and the emblem on the front has faded off. Nothing wrong with it on the inside etc.

Have people had any experience meaning they'd recommend I get a new one before I travel? Im only going spain and I have 4 years left on it! Thanks

As long as the photo's not obscured and the informations legible, you'll be fine.

I went to amsterdam with a mate, and his passport was falling to bits. The guard just laughed and handed it back.

I'd say you'll be alright.

living in the states right now and they are nororiously harsh on security. i accidently washed my passport in the washing machine - left it in the back pocket and although its in a very sorry state they can see the photo and they can scan it so they are fine with it. If they are ok with it ver here with stuff like that then i dont see your situation being a problem...

Cheers all. I (stupidly) use it as my id when I go out, which is why its not in that good condition

Urgh. Same here because I've always been too stubborn to pay for a new plastic license that I lost about a month after I got it 4 years ago

It's nearly worn down on the front and one of the corners is a bit bent

Same here. Lost my driving license too! It reappeared in the post after derby away tho I didnt know id lost it I was that hammered. Lost it again now tho

I'm so glad I'm not the only one too stubborn to buy a new driving license and watching my passport slowly decay.

Sending off for my new passport this week. What an ordeal the forms are

How much do they cost to replace? As opposed to renewing an expired one?

Try being an Aussie trying to obtain a british passport thru the ancestory rule when your mum only speak 3 months in Brittain, now that was hard work.

I'm needing to renew my uk passport, as an american citizen with an english dad. I'm assuming aussies use the same form (c1)?

Could you tell me how u answered question 3: 'have you been naturalised or registered as a citizen of the UK etc... or a British subject?'

I would say yes, as I have a previous uk passport. It then asks for details for citizen documents. Would I use my previous passport as a citizen document?

My Dad says yes. but he also thinks that if they don't like an answer they may make you re-apply and keep the money you sent in. Doh!

Thanks
